A PLEA FROM THE PLAYERS.
Theatrical Companies Get No Relief from
the is. c. Commission.

WASHINGTON CITY, April l6-The inter-
state commission moved to its permanent
quarters on the fifth floor of The Baltimore
Sun building Friday afternoon A very
large number Of petitions were received from
the managers, players and employees of the
theatres and theatrical combinations
throughout the country praying that the
commission permit the railroads to make
such rates for the transportation of COM
panies and bagae as the roads should see fit,
for parties of not less than ten persons,
travelling together on one ticket for the
same destination. Under the operation of
the new law none but the very highest or
lowest class of companies can exist. The in
termediate class consisting of from fifteen to
fifty people can not exist and meet expenses
under the new law. 1t simply means ami
hilation for this class The commission has
replied tc these petitions to the effect that
it can not dictate to the railroads what
policy they should pursue. The commits
sioners say that no point was presented in
these petitions over which they had juris1ic-
ton.
A communication has been received by the
commission from the executive committee of
the Chicago freight bureau protesting
against the suspension of the long and short
haul feature; especially as affecting the ter
ritory north of the Ohio and east Of the Mis-
sissippi river, excepting on Pacific coast
traffic. Various reasons are alleged for the
associations belief that the law without such
suspension would be not only best for the
